It is housed in Kasai Rinkai-koen Park which is a huge public park with a massive ferris wheel, food stalls, plenty of parking and enough space to play ball and bike around. You can also combine with a trip to the Tokyo Subway Museum or the Yumenoshima Botanical Garden . An easy drive or train ride from central Tokyo, or have a true adventure and take a water taxi.

Here is a printable PDF of Tokyo Sea Life Park – print out at home and let your kids study. When you enter the Park note the feeding and show times.The highlight of Tokyo Sea Life Park for us was the penguin
show and the jellies. There is a pleasant tidal pool area, but the wait was a bit long for the end experience – limited hands-on. There is also a wonderful outside area along the bay to enjoy your lunch – buy at the restaurant at the Sea Life Park or bring your own lunch.
Very child and baby friendly – strollers and changing rooms available.
